One True God

"So, what happened here?" Raya Pazier just said those words.

She was basically asking for what happened between Oumu and the Nocturnal Phantom.

There has to be something that happened since Nocturnal Phantom, the guy who was just surrounding Lucifer and acting as a guard dog this whole time, suddenly came out.

Besides, Oumu was lying on the ground so it would be weird if nothing happened instead.

Anyway, even though Raya Pazier didn't say those words to anyone, there is still someone who answered her, and that is Oumu, who has now worked up his way to get up.

"Well...it seems that I alerted those guys when I took one step nearer towards their Lord, so this happened."

"No worries, though. It seems that we have finally resolved the misunderstanding." Oumu said those words with a thin smile on his face.

It was as if he didn't undergo such a traumatic event where he could feel his whole life being endangered with just a single look of the demon incarnate.

Well, this just goes to show how fast Oumu would be able to regain his wits back.

However, it seems that there is someone who didn't agree with what he said, and that is...of course, Raya Pazier.

"Huh? What do you mean you cleared up the misunderstanding?"

"Are you forgetting something? You have not identified yourself. You did not say if you are someone who has come to serve Lucis or not."

"In other words, you are still a danger and must be apprehended right at this very moment."

Raya Pazier said, and what she said made sense. Oumu still has not confirmed if he would serve under Lucifer, so it would be too dangerous to let him run free.

In other words, there is no misunderstanding that happened between Nocturnal Phantom and Oumu.

And that was why...as soon as Raya Pazier said those words, a dark fog suddenly swept Oumu's words, and a body suddenly formed behind his back, which made Oumu fall down to the ground once more.

Thud! A loud banging sound resounded out as Oumu's body and the ground met.

But that was not all that happened as Oumu's hands were both grabbed by the dark fog that made him fall to the ground.

And as soon as the dark fog was sure that Oumu wouldn't be able to move anymore, a head appeared on top of the body, and Nocturnal Phantom...spoke with a very deep voice, the voice that seems to represent how angry he was right now.

"You...so you are not a servant of our Lord! How dare a fucking piece of shit try to even fool me, the great shadow of Darkness himself!"

"If you are not a servant of our Lord, then you are not needed here!"  Nocturnal Phantom said those words as he raised one of his hands.

His hand...turned into a very sharp blade, but that was not all.

Grimmy, the demon incarnate, also lent Nocturnal Phantom some of his powers as Nocturnal Phantom's hand that turned into a very sharp blade was shining like a real blade right now.

Of course, this is all because Oumu tried to fool them and say that he is not an enemy of Lucifer, their lord.

There's no way that they wouldn't be angry with something like that, now that their roles are to protect Lucifer while he was busy with something.

However, before even Nocturnal Phantom could slice Oumu's head like a soft butter being sliced by a hot knife, Oumu...spoke as he tried to move his body around.

"W-wait! I did not mean to fool you! Certainly not! You can ask that other guy, Rouge if you want to make sure!" Oumu said as he desperately tried to stop Nocturnal Phantom from slicing his head into two parts.

And because Rouge's name was mentioned, which is someone Nocturnal Phantom knows that he serves Lucifer as well, Nocturnal Phantom...stopped his actions.

However, the very sharp blade was still there, threatening to cut open Oumu's head into two parts right at this very moment.

Anyway, because Rouge's name was mentioned, Nocturnal Phantom immediately whipped his head towards Rouge, who was...right beside him, who had his hand out and seems to be reaching out towards the very sharp blade of Nocturnal Phantom.

It seems that Rouge was trying to stop Nocturnal Phantom from killing Oumu but it was to no result as Nocturnal Phantom's blade just keeps dissipating into a dark fog and returns back as a blade.

Anyway, Nocturnal Phantom paid no heed to that as he knew that Rouge would never be able to stop him, and he just spoke.

"You! What he said - is that right!?" Nocturnal Phantom angrily asked Rouge. It seems that he couldn't contain his anger right now.

It was very weird seeing Nocturnal Phantom like this when he was just being chummy and peaceful earlier while singing praises for Lucifer.

Anyway, now that Nocturnal Phantom was talking to him, Rouge spoke right away.

Even though Rouge didn't know who or what Nocturnal Phantom was, he could still feel that he was a lot stronger than him.

Well, after all, he did see that he couldn't even begin to grasp Nocturnal Phantom's body.

There's no way that Rouge would be able to defeat him right here, right now.

Anyway, this is what Rouge said, "Y-yeah. That's right. He didn't mean to fool you or anything of the sort." Rouge said as he tried to straighten his body back up.

After straightening his body back up, Rouge spoke again, "It is the truth that he is no enemy of us...for the time being."

Rouge said those words as he tried to gauge with his eyes what kind of reaction Nocturnal Phantom might have.

And...as expected, Nocturnal Phantom was very angry. Nocturnal Phantom even raised his very sharp blade right next to Rouge's head as he spoke angrily, "For the time being?! What the fuck is that, you piece of shit!"

"For the time being means that he might become an enemy later! And an enemy is something that must always be destroyed! I have no brain, yet I still know better than you, you fucking dumbass!" Nocturnal Phantom said.

And to that, Rouge responded this way, "That's right. He might become an enemy later, but...he might also become an ally later."

"And at this point, Lucis...our Lord said that Oumu is a very important person." Rouge said.

And as expected, since Lucifer's name was brought up, Nocturnal Phantom...shrank a little bit in shock, "W-what?! A very important person!? A fucking enemy is!?" Nocturnal Phantom said.

This is because Nocturnal Phantom knew that Lucifer would never say those words to an enemy.

Nocturnal Phantom has stayed with Lucifer ever since he was young. And ever since Lucifer was young, he always had one decree.

And that is to kill every single enemy standing in his path.

And in this very situation, Oumu could be considered to be an enemy.

Surely, Lucifer must know that, so it was very weird for Nocturnal Phantom to hear that Lucifer said that Oumu is a very important person even though he was an enemy.

However, it was the truth that Lucifer said that Oumu is an important person since he is the demon who would become the bridge to introduce him to the Warmester Denoble House.

Of course, Oumu can be discarded any time and just have someone else act the role as a bridge to introduce Lucifer to the Warmester Denoble House, but...it was still the fact that Oumu is a friend to Rouge.

So Rouge was trying his hardest to make sure that Oumu would come out of here alive.

That was why Rouge spoke, trying to convince Nocturnal Phantom.

"That's right. Even though he might become an enemy, it is still the truth that he might become an ally. And even if he does not become an ally, Lucis said that Oumu has a very important role to fulfill so killing him now...might incur Lucis' wrath." Rouge said, trying to threaten Nocturnal Phantom.

However, because Nocturnal Phantom has had a longer time spent with Lucifer, he wasn't completely convinced.

Nocturnal Phantom was aware of how Lucifer does things, and this is definitely not Lucifer's way of doing things.

However, there was something that happened that finally convinced Nocturnal Phantom, and that was...Raya Pazier.

Right, Raya Pazier spoke up for Oumu.

"Well, how about you leave it at that? If Lucis said that he has a very important role to play, then we can't do anything about it."

"Or...does perhaps the black smoke wants to disobey our Lord?"

"I'm sure you don't want to do that considering that you are probably the most loyal out of us here."

Raya Pazier said as he looked at Nocturnal Phantom's face.

She could feel that Nocturnal Phantom was also looking at her and he was glaring at her, but Raya Pazier didn't budge at all.

And because it was technically three to two, Nocturnal Phantom had no choice but to back down.

"Tsk. If something happens and my Lord gets mad, don't blame me for it! If he gets mad, this little country would get wiped out in a single second!"

"And I hope you two get caught up in it!" Nocturnal Phantom said as his body dissipated and the dark fog returned to Lucifer's side.

The demon incarnate, Grimmy, also disappeared.

"Whew. I guess I'm safe for now..." Oumu murmured as he got up with the help of Rouge.
